It seems rather odd that the Browns would give up on the #3 pick in the 2012 draft so quickly, after they traded four picks to get him. On the other hand, he won't be asked to carry the offensive load in Indianapolis to the extent he had to in Cleveland. (Better quarterback; better wide receivers; better team, overall).

http://the-w.com/peyton-manning-will-need-second-neck-surgery-out-indefinitelyMon, 05 Sep 2011 11:08:09 GMTJohn Michael Vincent of ESPN 1070 AM, Indianapolis, is reporting that Colts quarterback Peyton Manning will require a second procedure on his neck and will be out indefinitely.

If true, it will mark the first time that Manning has ever missed a start (or even a snap, if I recall correctly) in the regular season due to injury. And God knows when we'll get him back.

I'm grateful that we don't enter the regular season with Curtis Painter as our starting quarterback, but obviously Collins (though a steady hand at QB) isn't Peyton. This'll sure be an interesting season.

And it makes me think that the Colts need to start looking for suitable successors for Peyton for when his career is over, through the draft and free agency. (But probably the draft). Actually I've thought that for a few years now.

I believed Peyton Manning was this year's MVP because with Marvin Harrison gone and some injuries to some of his team, Peyton made people better and proved why he is arguably the best QB today (except only 1 ring to show for all his accolades).

What surprises me is how Peyton won the MVP in convincing fashion; I thought this would be a lot closer with Drew Brees and the Saints and Brett Favre and what he did in Minnesota this year.

Your thoughts and opinions................

http://the-w.com/peyton-manning-milestones-this-yearThu, 07 May 2009 14:00:43 GMTAnyway, this year, barring a miracle collapse by the Colts, Manning will pass on the career victories list, among other notables, Johnny Unitas. That will be a cool moment, him surpassing the last great Colts quarterback. Well, besides Jim Harbaugh.

Others he will pass are Joe Montana (with whom he is currently tied) and, most likely, Fran Tarkenton. He will also pass Tarkenton for third on the touchdowns list. He will probably move to fourth on the career passing yards list, passing Vinny Testaverde (!!), Tarkenton and Warren Moon.

I guess he could also get injured, but that seems unlikely considering he has never missed a start. I never realized that until just now. He has the longest ever consecutive start streak to begin a career.

EDIT: Also, Brett Favre, when you read this thread, I want you to know that every season you retire then come back increase tenfold my desire to see Manning break every single one of your records except the interceptions record. Oh, or the record for throwing six interceptions in a playoff game.

I think this release is about 20% financial, 50% due to age/production decrease and 30% due to his off the field issues. Either way, even if Harrison never plays again, I will always remember him, on the field, as a consummate pro. Be that as it may, since I have Anthony Gonzalez in my keeper league, I couldn;t be happier with this news.
